Learning From Free Online Acoustic Guitar Lessons

By Rosella Campbell


The guitar is one of the most well loved instruments of all time because it is one of the easiest to access whenever one would want a tune to go with his song. Now unlike before, it is now actually possible to get lessons for this instrument from the internet. So if one would want to learn to play this instrument but does not have the money to do so, he can get some free online acoustic guitar lessons instead.

Now if one has not tried out one of these lessons yet, then here is an idea of what he will learn. Now online classes would usually use two mediums in order to communicate the lesson to the student namely text notes and videos. The notes would usually contain the information that one would be needing as he would practice the lesson.

Now the videos are extremely important simply because they provide the visual aids of the lesson. If the lesson is all text and no visual aids, it will be extremely hard for the student to grasp the concepts of guitar playing. Through the videos, one will also be able to know how to properly move his hands when he is playing.

Now for those who have not taken up these sort of lessons yet, here is an overview of what will be taught. Now the very first thing that would be taught would be of course the strings of the guitar because these are the things that would create the sounds. From there, the videos would be showing the student the different sounds that each string makes.

Once one has learned the different sounds that each string makes, he will then be learning how to make a chord. For those who do not know, a chord is a combination of notes that would make a uniform sound. There are two types of basic chords that one would be learning namely the major chords and the minor chords.

After learning the basic chords and the strumming techniques that would handle these chords, then the next thing that one would learn would be picking the strings. Now when picking strings, one will be touching some strings and picking the strings one after the other. Of course the video will be showing the viewers the right hand positioning for doing this.

After learning all of these things, then the next thing that one would learn is combining both techniques in order to play a short song. Of course one will be learning a very simple song first before going on to the more complicated ones. One will start with the intro which is usually the finger picking part then the chorus which would consist of strumming.

So as one can see, it is actually possible to learn how to play a guitar through the internet. Now do remember that nothing would beat personalized attention simply because if one learns from the internet, he cannot ask any questions. However, if one is just after the basics of playing the instrument, then he can actually just learn through online teaching instead of signing up for a real class.
